Flask vs. Django: Worksheet to choose the right framework

One of my more favorite reasons to use Django would be - http://www.django-rest-framework.org/ - whose discoverable API browser is awesome and saves so much time in building out a great REST API with pagination, related resources, and so many other things (plus you can post from the API browser). A bit less so the built-in admin features, which are also nice at times. Possibly also the migrations system. I don't use Django templates, but the rest of it are pretty much great.

I almost started a very major project with Flask, but am glad I did not for how much work DJRF and South had saved.

I'll admit I have no idea about Eve, but having used Tastypie, the beauty of Django Rest Framework is its consistency with Django. The Serializers are very similar to forms, and the API views are very like Djangos generic class based views.

You could also use a Django Form to validate the data with Tastypie[1].

Not hard to throw http://swagger.io/ in front of most APIs to get that 'query in the browser' feature.

I had a look around a couple of month s back and I couldn't find anything like django-reversion.
